TERRIFIC CYCLONE.
Missouri, Kentucky and Wyoming Ter.
rltory Visited-Great Destruction to
Life and Property.

NEVADA, Mo-, April 90.
A terrible cyclone swept over the northern
part of this (Vernon) county last evening at
O'Clock. The clouds were plainly visible
here, passing only eight miles from this city.
The cyclone came down the Marmhorn river
from the Kansas line, dealing death and des
truction wherever it struck. As far as can
be learned the first place it touched was at
Metz Township, passing through Metz, Usage
and Blue Mount townships. Fences, houses,
barns and everything in the path of the storm,
which was half a mile wide, were picked up,
rent into splinters and cast down hundreds of
yards away. Trees were torn up by the
roots. Over thirty houses were destroyed
and about fifteen persons were killed. Only
a partial list of the dead are yet obtained.
There were five members of the Miller
family, four of whom were killed. The
baby, aged two years, was dropped in the
ward and found unhuIt this morning. Parts
of the Miller house and furniture were found
strewn over the fields for mile from where
the house formerly stood

tornado swept through portion of
Kentucky south of Cincinnati this morning.
At Paris, where a violent rain storm with
thunder and lightning was in progress, a
continuous rumbling sound was heard, which
proved to be a tornado, which passed IN a
few minutes, leaving a track 400 yards wide
in which trees were levelled and houses un-
rooted. The roof of Turner, Clark & Cos
livery stable was carried across the street
and left on John Griffins residence, crushing
it in. heavy rain fell here nearly all day
as well as throughout the Ohio valley.
Near Portsmouth, o., Warren Carol. Oh a
raft in the Ohio river, was struck by light

INSURING By PROXY.
The Peculiar way in Which Insurance
Companies do Business in Michigan
Insuring raupers for the Beneft OF the
Poor.house Superintendents.
LANSING. Mich Anril D.

LANSING, Mich, April %.
A special joint committee of FIVE appointed
TO investigate the mutual insurance compsn.
les OF the State, presented their report TO the
House this morning. They have examined
seventeen companies doing business in the
State, and the disclosures are of the most
startling and damaging character. Nearly
all of the assessments companies were found
to be rotten to the core, insuriny any one. no
matter what age or state OF hesith, or whether
the person insured knew of the transaction.
The testimony taken goes to show conclu-
si.ely that nine out of every ten persons in.
sured in these companies had made no appli-
cation nor were they aware that such an in
surance had been placed on their lives. The
insurance was generally taken out by some
beneficiary, who forged the signature to the
application, paid the assessments and pock
eted the money paid at death. Among the
evidence most important is the development
OF the fact that policies are issued on pau
pers in the poor-houses for the benefit of the
superntendents of the poor. Ivestigation of
IT, Standard Life of Marshall, shows that
two policies have been issued on paupers for
the benefit of Superintendent Perkins. He
had received $500 on one of his polices and
$3.50 on another. One OF those insured by
Perkins was Mrs. Snow, aged "a, who died
within ten days. Another novel feature of
the testimony developed, is the tact that dec
tors have been in the habit of taking out
graveyard policies on the lives of their own
patients. In many eases the companies have
insured persons living in Canada, Germany,
England and Sweden. simply that the agent
and offices might reap the benefit of the per-
centage and beneficiary draw policy.

CANADA'S WAR DOGS.
The Movement to Call Them in Warmly
Endorsed.
TORONTO, Apri


The Mail, in an editorial on the fishery
question, says: The announcement made by
cable respecting the decision reached by
Saulsbury's administration in the fishery
dispute will disappoint those Canadians who
imagined that the English premier would
prove fire-eater.
Lord Salisbury is willing to divert during
the coming fishing season, and if necessary,
for further term to the treaty of Washing
ton without requiring pecuniary indemnity
from the United States. That is to say that
for the present, at any rate, the American
fishermen are to fish in our waters and to en-
joy free access to our harbors with the priv
ilege of buying bait, transhipping cargoes,
etc. without money and without price In
our opinion Lord Salisbury has acted wisely.
Had our cruisers resumed operations against
the American fishermen, we should have felt
the full force of the retaliation bill and Eng
land might have been dragged inte very
ugly quarrel.
AS it is, all concerned will have ample
time to reach friendly settlement. Presi'
dent Cleveland land his advisers, as well as
such republican leaders as Messrs. Sherman
and Butterw ortb are anxious to effect set
tIement that shall be mutually advantageous
and if we are wise we will leave our gun
boats in the dry deck, to which Lord Sauls
burv has lust consigned them, and negotiate
with the Americans as with TRENDS aho
neighbors who wish us well.

SHERMAN'S ESCAPE.
A Plot to Kidnap Him-A Cuban Scheme
Frustrated by ii Difference in Time.

New YORK. April %.
dispatch from Key West, Florida, says
that from private letters from Havana, 1t is
learned that a party of kidnappers or out
laws. comprising much OF the dangerous ele-
ments of Cuban banditti, had arranged to
capture Senator John Sherman on his visit
to Cuba. The project only failed through
difference in time. The plot was well ar
ranged and the banditti were to capture SEN
a,or Sherman and party, but fortunately for
the distinguished gentleman's safety, they
left the plantation, intended as the scene OF
the outrage, five minutes before the outlaws
appeared. 1t is thought that the owner o'
the plantation was a party to the scheme.
while in Havana Mr.. Sherman took occa'
sion to congratulate the captain general on
the peace prevailing throughout the island
When the Senator. however, expressed de-
sire to visit the sugar plantations IN the lnle-
rior. a military guard was sent as an escort
and the entire party barely escaped an un-
nleasant surprife.

A FRONTIER INCIDENT.
Inc Arrest of French Commissary by
herman AuthOfities-A Possible Prov.
ocatiOn of war Cetween the Two Conn.
tries.
PARIS. Anril oa

PARIS. April %.
What may be provocation of war be-
tween France and Germany was caused yes.
terday by the arrest of NJ. Sehnaebles,
special French commisssry. He had receiv-
ed several letters from the German police
commission at Ars, asking him TO come to
that place in regard to the frontier service.
The Germans requested Commissary Schnae
oles TO set up one of the posts which mark
the frontier line. The comm issary crossed
the boundary and advanced few wards on
Germaa soil, when he was seized by Germsn
police agents who were disguised in gray
oiouses. He knocked the agents down and
escaped back to French territory, but he was
again seized. handcutied and sent to Metz,
where he was placed in the prison in which
accused persons are confined before trial.
The warrant for the arrest emanated from
the public prosecutor at Metz, who acted
under instructions from Strasburg. The
French prosecutor at Nancy has gone to
Fagney to inquire into the affair The ar
Test has produced a profound sensation and it
is feared may lead to unfortunate results.
The French government will not complain
to Germany of the arrest until full inquiries
are made into the case. The Intransgeant,
of which Henri Rochefort is editor. is the
only paper that is rabd in its comments on
the affair. Other french papers are moder-
ate in their references to it.
Today's late dispatches confirm the state
ment that Schnebles was arrested on French
territory. Nj. +. Flouens will await the re-
suit of minute inquiry on the spot before
demanding reparation from Germany for the
arrest
The performance ofWaguer's opera Lahen-
gram, which was to have taken place in Eden
theatre in Paris, tomorrow, has been post
poned owing to the feeling aroused by the
frontier occurrence.
In official circles in France the arrest is
regarded as serious matter. nj. Goblet,
the prime minister, and NJ. Flourens, the for
eign minister, were in conference until mid
night last night for the purpose of determin-
ing what action to take They met again
this morning to further consider the subject.
The French newspapers generally regard the
occurrence as direct provocation on Ger
manys part,an exhort the people to be calm
and not to play Prince Bismarck's game.
The incident is badly interpreted in the
Paris stock market, and rentes have fallen.
The quotation OF three per cents for account
at 3 o'clock this afternoon was 10 francs, so
centimes. fall OF franc and 10 centimes
from the closing price of last evening.
The arrest hhs also caused depression in
London stocks.
The French papers are unanimous in the
statement that M. Schnaebles was arrested
on French soil by the German officers who
took him into custody.
The Temps publishes a dispatch from
Strasburg stating that the German officials
suspected M. Schnaebles Of having relations
with persons in Germany for the purpose of
gaining information concerning the military
measures being taken around Metz by the
freDch military officials.
